It was packaged in a small cardboard, pyramid shaped box, perhaps standing 2 inches or so high. The design featured chocolate coloured sihouttes of palm trees, and desert scenes (i think) set to a mint green sky. You would open one of the sides of the pyramid and could slide out the chocolate.

The chocolate itself was obviously a pyramid shape which had a hollow centre filled with mint cream (think of an "After Eight" but with enough mint centre to fill a Creme Egg). One thing I seem to remember is that the chocolate walls were particularly thick. I guess it was from a time where manufacturers did not skimp on such things and gave us chunky chocolate walls instead of the thin, and inferior ones chocolate manufacturers often provide today.

I have such a fond memory of the Pyramint, there used to be this gorgeous minty smell when u opened the box and I guess I remember all this from around the 1985-1987 era.

They clearly stopped making these AGES ago and perhaps they were never even available that long as hardly anyone I know remembers them. Would be great to hear from anyone else who remembers it and any pictures/further details would be fantastic.

Yes, these were certainly delicious and there are quite a few Pyramint fans on the Forum. This unique product was first turned into a regular mint-filled chocolate bar - then it was axed by terrys, the makers. It is much missed - and I can still feel that sticky mint glup running doen my chin.

If they brought back all of these old bars, would they taste the same? Would we get bored with them?

I think that the problem with today's choc bars is the lack of variety and imagination. There is very little variation on the toffee/caramel/biscuit/nougat theme. Fruit-filled bars have all but gone.

In boxed chocolates there is so little choice - you know there'll always be a caramel cup, hazelnut whirl, strawberry cream etc. and these are all ok but years ago, as people on the forum have pointed out, there were gooseberry creams, pineapple creams, blackcurrant cups etc. Chocolate companies blame manufacturing problems (that is why Texan went) but i think they are too lazy to listen to what people want and too eager to follow trends.
